credit Last week I shared a past post from this blog on the Our Out-of-Sync Life Facebook page. And boy did the comments come in. Questions. Excitement. All surrounding the idea of teaching a child first time obedience. Today, I want to answer some of those questions and provide you with further resources on this topic. 1. ...

Review & Giveaway: Big Thoughts for Little People Book & App
Six years ago I was introduced to this completely updated book. I absolutely fell in love with it and it continues to be one of my favorite children's book included in the ABC Jesus Loves Me Curriculum.

Is Being a Christian All About Following a Bunch of Rules?
Ever feel like every thing you do is measured by a ruler? Did I do enough? Did I measure up to the expectations? Then just when you feel you have a handle on the "laws" boxed around you, another fold of the ruler (as pictured above) is brought out and you have to begin again with more stringent rules. After a while, you ...

How To Know If Your Child Has a Disability
One question that I frequently receive is "How did you know that there was something 'wrong' with Bubs?" One friend specifically wanted to know if we discovered the issues after having other children and if it was something that others saw. Good questions! Bubs developed on or ahead of schedule as a baby. There wasn't anything that concerned us at ...
Giveaway: When Calls the Heart DVD set
Keeping more than basic cable for one show seemed really silly. But a part of me desired to keep those "higher" channels just so I could see what would come of Miss Elizabeth Thatcher and Constable Jack Thornton. But balancing the budget always trumps desires! So as soon as I bumped down to basic cable, I called my parents and ...
How Many Hula-Hoops Can You Keep in Motion at Once?
I was the champion hula-hoopie (if that is a word) in my elementary school. For the contest, my PE teacher told me I could stop because class was over and there was no need for me to continue with everyone out long before. While I was super proud as a 5th grader, now I realize it was some nice hips that helped clinch the title. While I can ...
Fun Children’s Books to Expand Their Knowledge of Plants and Bugs
You can find children's books on trains, boats, princesses, and animals. Superheros, space, and shapes. Literally about any subject you can think of. But there is one subject which I haven't seen a lot of books cover. Gardens and the animals that live there. Think about it. When was the last time that you ...
Family Friendly Media Giveaway Where Everyone Wins Just By Entering!

Even while watching "family friendly" programs, we have to keep our fingers on the forward buttons for the sexually driven commercials! It truly makes my heart sick the filth that is ...
